EDITS FOR "VAPORWAVE" PAGE : Vaporwave

reasons for editing: This page has good basic information, but could be a bit more specific. It also seems like this page needs to be updated with vaporwave's resurgence in the underground music community.

Vaporwave subsequently found wider appeal over the middle of 2012, building an audience on sites like Last.fm, Reddit, and 4chan. After a flood of new vaporwave acts turned to Bandcamp for distribution, various members of the online music press began writing about the movement. Initially, this was only on smaller publications such as Tiny Mix Tapes, Dummy and Sputnikmusic; Ash Becks of The Essential notes that sites like Pitchfork and Drowned in Sound "seemingly refused to touch vaporwave throughout the genre’s two-year 'peak'." The release of Blank Banshee's debut album Blank Banshee 0 signaled a move into a vaporwave style that was more influenced by trap music.

- add how Drake was involved with the genre's recent resurgence, although not truly the origin.

- Hotline Bling remixes brought attention back to vaporwave when people thought it was dead. Simpsonwave was a YouTube phenomenon made popular by the user Lucien Hughes. It mainly consists of videos with scenes from the American animated television series The Simpsons set to various vaporwave songs. Clips are often edited with VHS-esque distortion effects and surreal visuals, giving them a "hallucinatory and transportive" feel.

- add how it is debatable whether this sub-genre of vaporwave is a meme or if it has some emotional significance, due to the tone of the music and the visuals used.
